Welcome

Australian Ladies Amateur Radio Association (ALARA) was formed in 1975

The membership has now grown to over 200, with many Australian members sponsoring overseas YLs into ALARA. The term “YL” stands for “young lady” – regardless of age.
The Associations mission is to encourage women’s interest and active participation in amateur radio.

This year on 22nd Sept we are celebrating the centenary of the first direct radio contact from the UK (Wales) to Wahroonga
Australia. As our member Dot VK2DB and her OM John VK2ZOI are members of Hornsby and District ARC (John is currently President of the club)
they are both involved in the celebrations. These include Special Event Callsigns, Re-enactments, TV coverage and more. For more info:

ALARAmeet is a wonderful way to meet other YLs of our organisation and their OMs are welcome too.
Up to 80 people attend our meets now and YLs have come from England, Sweden, America, Germany and New Zealand.
